MGME focuses on creating events that enhance connection and collaboration, using creativity and tech to inspire impactful experiences.
Hickory Global Partners, an established alliance in the corporate travel sector, has recently initiated a commission-based referral program in collaboration with MGME, its partner company specializing in comprehensive meeting and event services. This new program enables Hickory members to recommend their clients to MGME for organizing corporate events, thereby linking travel and event services to enhance business prospects for both parties. Members can benefit from a minimum of 4% in commissionable earnings, presenting a lucrative opportunity for increased financial gains.
With more than forty years in the corporate travel business, Hickory is renowned for assisting travel agencies and corporate departments by negotiating favorable deals with top hotels, airlines, and ground transport providers, along with various other service partners. This expansion into meetings and events underscores Hickory’s continued dedication to providing value and expert services to its clients.
“This referral program will not only help grow both our members’ and prospective members’ business with their existing client base but also help them solicit new business,” said Chris Dane, President of Hickory. “We are experts in corporate travel, and this ability to fully partner with MGME through commissionable referrals is further helping us gain a complete product offering for our members and prospective members.”
MGME is a prominent organizer of a wide array of corporate events, including incentives, conferences, conventions, trade shows, exhibitions, product launches, and both physical and virtual symposiums. Annually, it manages over 500 events across more than 70 countries. Its notable clientele includes major organizations such as IATA, Anheuser-Busch, CVS-Aetna, GlaxoSmithKline, HBO, and Novartis. With the integration of Hickory Global Partners, members can now extend MGME’s event planning services to their clients, providing them access to comprehensive in-house creative services, expert event management, logistical support, production capabilities, as well as detailed analytics, reporting, contracting, vendor, and budget management.
“Joining Hickory in this referral program has already proven to be very beneficial for our teams,” said Carvie Gillikin, President and CEO of MGME. “The ability to offer our partners both full-fledged event planning, as well as travel accommodations to and from these events through Hickory, has made both parties more well-rounded and knowledgeable about what our clients need.”
MGME is dedicated to crafting impactful experiences that foster collaboration and connection. Leveraging their profound insight into clients’ objectives and company culture, combined with their creative acumen and technical expertise, MGME aims to deliver memorable experiences that promote and inspire human connections.
